North Carolina Lawmaker’s are proposing to revamp the state’s tax system by removing personal and corporate income tax and raising the state’s sales tax. It will represent a shift in the tax burden as sales tax will be applied to currently tax-free services; i.e. architectural services. This is an important issue that has a serious impact to the design industry and makes this year’s Legislative Day that more important. Below are some links to a couple issue briefs and important information:
AIA’s Issue Brief on Taxation of Architectural Services
States that Tax Architectural Services
Civitas Pro-Growth Tax Reform Document
What Architect’s Should Know about Professional Service Tax
